Hausen the Top Dog in the House
Tobias Hausen already had a big stack close to the end of the dinner break but the massive tower he sits behind on right now is more than the chip leaders bagged up at the end of Day 1a. A quick chat with Hausen revealed that a big pot took place before the dinner break still to vault the German into a big lead.
According to Hausen it was a battle of the blinds in which his opponent limped and the German raised to four times the big blind before getting called. On an 
flop with flush draw, the small blind bet 1.5 times the pot and Hausen min-raised to get called. A 
appeared on the turn and action checked to Hausen, who bet 8,000 into 16,000 and his opponent made it 24,000 to go, Hausen called.
A blank 
river was checked to Hausen, who moved all in with a full house and his opponent called with 
for aces and nines only.
